John — 

Just a few years ago, the idea that someone like Donald Trump would be running for president (again!) would have been a joke. 

But he has a commanding lead in Arizona today. 

It’s hard to even think that someone like Kari Lake, one of Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters, could be a United States Senator after all of her lies, misinformation, conspiracies, schoolyard insults and bullying. 

But the polls have this U.S. Senate race a dead-heat, and we are losing our edge in fundraising right now. 

Both of them have to go through Ruben Gallego to win, but to defend Arizona he needs your help. And these next few days before our final FEC deadline before the election are some of the most critically important days of the campaign. 

Ruben is legally required to publicly report his fundraising numbers after this FEC deadline. Everyone is going to be watching, because what happens in this race directly affects what happens up and down the ballot in Arizona. 

If we put up a strong FEC report we improve our chances at defending our Senate Majority and winning back the White House. If we put up a weak FEC report it invites millions more dollars in outside spending and throws the momentum back to Kari Lake and Trump.

We need a TON of donations before this FEC deadline to catch up to where we need to be. It would be an unmitigated disaster if we miss our goals this late in the election.

So, please:

If you’re able, will you PLEASE make a split $10 contribution to Ruben Gallego’s campaign for U.S. Senate in Arizona and Blue Amp Action? This is not the time to fall short. Not with just a few weeks until early voting starts. Not this close to the election.

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
